1) I have been investigating a problem deploying an Application onto a Geronimo 2.1 or 2.2 Server on a Windows System using the "Apache Commons Daemon". The issue was, that I regularly got PermGenSpace errors. Following the guides, I added "-XX:MaxPermSize=256m" to geronimosrvw.exe's "Java Options". However, I tried many things, but didn't succeed;
After some time I found the issues http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAEMON-119 (and a related? bug http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAEMON-112), which are the reason for that issue: Geronimo should - in my optinion - be started in "Java"-Mode. In Java (and the currently used exe-Mode) it is necessary to add all important options directly into the "start up"-"arguments" fields before the "-jar" line, which should be noticed in the Wiki. That solved the PermGenSpace issue permanently for me. 2) At the "shutdown" page, it is necessary to explicitly select the "Java"-Mode and set a timeout (30 seconds or so); otherwise the geronimo server will simply be killed without any chance to terminate gracefully. The following parameters in the shutdown arguments-field should be changed when the password changes, which should be noticed in the Wiki, too: --user system --password manager I have opened a issue: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-5040 Best regards, Johannes -- |--------------------------------- | weberhofer GmbH | Johannes Weberhofer | information technologies | | Austria, 1080 Wien, Blindengasse 52/3 | | Firmenbuch: 225566s, Handelsgericht Wien | UID: ATU55277701 | | phone : +43 (0)1 5454421 0 | email: off...@weberhofer.at | fax : +43 (0)1 5454421 19 | web : http://www.weberhofer.at | mobile: +43 (0)699 11998315 | |------------------------------------------------------------->>
